For those of you who are unfamilar with this title you might want to check it out. This game is going to rock the PC and trash all that has passed before on the consoles.

The game takes place on the land of Morrowind. More info on it's history can be found [link=http://www.rpgplanet.com/morrowind/background/pocket.asp]here.[/link]

500 hours of gameplay. 50-100 hours just for the main quest which leaves around 400 hours of gameplay when you factor in al the sidequests.

400 dungeons to explore.

1000 scripted NPC's to interact with.

Anything thats not bolted down can be picked up. Plates and cups on a villagers table, books on a book case all can be taken.

Tired of being forced to play the good guy? In Morrowind your hands aren't tied. You can do anything and everything you want. Just don't expect a warm welcome from the law or the populance. You can even purchase your own slaves to do your bidding.

There are various guilds to join like the mages guild, Thieves guild or the assassins. There are also different factions to join.

Various weapons and armor to use. With their own individual feel and look per race. An Argonian Long Sword will look diffrent compared to a Dark elf Long Sword.

Game Editor (PC only at this point) So when you get tired of the huge gameworld you can add to it or download someone elses creations.

Vampirism: You can go off and do battle with the undead but beware if they should bite you, you might end up with their curse. From there you can choose to join various vampire clans or seek a cure. Either way you will be hunted down by Vampire Slayers.

[link=http://www.rpgplanet.com/morrowind/goods/skillabil.asp]Various skills[/link] to choose from. They range from thievery, magic and combat to commerce and persuasion. Just a small selection of the skills available: Armorer, Sneaking, Mercantile, speechcraft. You are free to make yourself a diplomat, thief, assassin, Mage, warrior or whatever type of character you have in mind.

The game can be played in the 1st or 3rd person perspective. This should accomadate the various types of gamers out there.

Combat is handled in real time. It requires the player to move the mouse/controller to swing a weapon. So don't expect to be spending mindless hours of selecting a text message to confirm your attack in a slow turn based fight. There is a lot of room for battle tactics and overall strategies.

It should be released on the PC today or tommorow and on the Xbox on the 17th. Wether it's for the Xbox or the PC this is a game no fantasy/adventure fan should pass up. And for those that like RPG's, untill Neverwinter Nights comes out it won't get better then this.

Edit: LOL, the other thread must of poped up while I was making this thread. So to avoid the Redundant Police I guess I'll change this thread into a chronicle of Morrowind stories. So for those who are picking up the game post your experainces and in game stories here and what type of character your going to make.

PC for me, those bastards at EB lied to me today hah was funny when I gave him crap

me: So, when do you get morrowind in?
eb moron: Well, see there was a big bug in the game so they recalled it all.
me: Right, right, so what bug is it that caused all the copies to be recalled?
eb idiot: well something with it wasent working right
me:so whens it gonna be in then?
eb tard: well about a week we think.
me: who is 'we'?
eb dumbass : the store.
me : why dont you stop lying to me?
eb dolt: um what sir?
me : why dont you just say they had a problem with the master cd and it delayed shiping one day instead of this week bullcrap you are giving me? Hmm? anyways cancel my preorder, give me the $90 now please.
eb tool: I cant do that.
me : alright, your manager is in the back office ill go talk to him then.
eb f4g : no need sir, just give the preorder slip and ill ring it up for you.

on the way out i went and saw the manager anyways =P told him they lost a customer who buys 2-4 games a month because he cant have employee's that tell the truth, end result he gave me a $50 store credit for nothing =)

Morrowind collectors edition here i come!

anyways, heh i am going to make a battle enchanter =)

also get that boba fett armor RBE , it looks sweet , link in other thread.

Well I think I'm going to buy it on the X-box for a better framerate and a big screen. I broke down and reinstalled Daggerfall a couple weeks ago. Unfortunatly I could never get the patch to download so I did without. It's fun using open on a weapon shop late at night. They throw you in jail for trying to pick a lock but use magic and you're suddenly a rich man. There was one time I came across a puzzle where you threw switches to raise and lower bars. I thought I'd be clever and anchor my teleport in the middle so I could skip a bunch, unfortuantly I got stuck because of it and had to reload from a much earlier save point.

It's going to be the 15th, 16th or 17th. One of those days it should arrive, but as much as I want it I don't care if they push it back a whole month if it means they get the bugs worked out for once. No more falling into the cracks (literally) for me!

=/ I know. It's illegal. It's evil. But, damnit, it's MORROWIND!!! I couldn't wait. I'll buy it when it comes out in the stores, but there's nothing wrong with getting a little head start, is there? =)

I've been kicking around the idea of a Wild Elf, Assasin/Mage. With the mystism, conjuration and alchemy schools. And the Alronach birth sign. I figure I'll use summon creatures to distract my targets while I sneak up behind my victim and slit his throat.

So for those that have the game what has been the best fight you've gotten into so far?
